After this I spoke freely to them during the hour that yet remained. They parted from me under feelings of gratitude and regret that they could hear no more, for they only passed through Berlin. I felt myself greatly reproved, and all I could do was, by a long letter, to seek to make up for my deficiency in ministering to them on the journey.
He told me of a sergeant who went into a house, ordered a meal and then demanded money, threatening the woman who had served him. A lieutenant entered at this moment, learned the particulars of the altercation, and struck the sergeant, whom he reproved for disobeying commands for good conduct which had come from Headquarters. "Just think of such lack of respect among officers," Thomas concluded.
And in Hispaniola, though charged, reproved, threatened, still stayed Bobadilla in the guise of Governor! "They cannot leave him there," I said. "If the Colombos are not men for the place, what then is Bobadilla?" Fray Juan Perez stirred the fire. "King Ferdinand, I say it only to you and in a whisper, has not a little of the King of the Foxes!
After his day's work Jonas would lay aside rifle and bandolier, don his overcoat, and stroll into town to see his family. He was challenged by a sentry on one occasion, but Jonas reproved him so severely and bluffed him so completely, that the poor fellow broke into an abject apology, whereupon Jonas very condescendingly promised to say no more about the matter.
In the heart of each was an earnest petition for "poor Jim," Dolly's ending with the words: "And let me see his face the first thing in the morning." But Alfy reproved this. "We haven't any right to set times for things to be done and prayers to be answered, Dolly Doodles, and don't say no more.
Something appalling had just occurred to her. "Good gracious," she told him, "it's a special occasion, and the cook and the waitress are both going off to funerals or something, and Gail is going to have to get that whole dinner single-handed!" Clarence smiled most agreeably. "You should try to be more of an optimist, dear Joy," he reproved. "Try to live up to your name."
He must have inquired, once or twice, as to the whereabouts of the Captain's party; I saw fingers pointing. "Here! You've swapped collars on your lead span, boy," Mr. Jenks reproved but he likewise fumbling while he gazed. I could hold back no longer. "Just a minute, if you please," I pleaded; and hastened on up, half running in my anxiety to face the worst; to help, if I might, for the best.
Louis XIV. understood perfectly the art of satisfying people even while he reproved their requests. His manners were most affable, and he spoke with so much politeness as to win all hearts. I had a Maid of Honour whose name was Beauvais; she was a very well-disposed person: the King fell in love with her, but she remained firm against all his attempts.
Nursing-children reproved the executioners. The hope for celestial happiness deadened the physical senses and softened pain. Were they torn to pieces, or burnt, they minded it not. They never yielded, and they called for the sword, which alone could kill them. Eulalia, when at the stake, breathes the flame that she may die the more quickly.
At present, my sword is pledged to the king and may be drawn in no other service, more especially not in my own. I trust, Lieutenant Stewart, you will have the courage to sheathe your blade." I hesitated. It was a hard thing to ask a man to do. "Yes, put up your sword!" cried Allen scornfully. "Allow yourself to be reproved like a naughty boy by this hero who knows only how to retreat.
